Badlands Daily — Nov. 25, 2025: Ukraine Peace Deal Shifts, DOJ Battles, Cartel Crackdowns & Venezuela on the Brink

CannCon and Ghost unpack a massive news day on Badlands Daily, beginning with breaking reports that Ukraine has tentatively agreed to a U.S.-brokered 19-point peace plan, sparking heated analysis of leaked terms, neocon backlash, and Putin’s strategic posture. They dig into Colonel McGregor’s warnings about NATO collapse, Zelensky’s looming exit, and the deep corruption unraveling inside Ukraine’s government. The conversation shifts to the Comey case dismissal on a technicality, DOJ moves to release Epstein–Maxwell grand jury materials, and Cash Patel’s tight-lipped update on the J6 pipe bomber investigation. The guys cover a major 1,500-pound meth seizure, Chicago’s exploding school travel scandal, refugee re-interviews, and the stunning announcement that retired Navy Captain Mark Kelly may face UCMJ consequences for seditious messaging. Ghost dives into Maduro’s accusations against U.S. banks laundering cartel money, FAA flight warnings over Venezuela, F-35/F-15 weapons deals, and growing instability across South America and Eastern Europe. It’s a high-velocity episode loaded with geopolitics, corruption, law-fare, and the shifting global order, all delivered with classic Badlands candor.
